Beijing Institute of Technology, as the first science and engineering university founded by China's * * * production party, has always been valued and supported by the state. It is one of the 14 universities invested by the state during the Seventh Five-Year Plan, the Eighth Five-Year Plan and the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Beijing Institute of Technology has always been based on national defense and is the cradle of high-tech talents, especially senior national defense talents in China. 1In August, 949, the Institute of Technology of North China University (predecessor of Beijing Institute of Technology) moved to Beijing and was placed under the leadership of the Ministry of Heavy Industry of the Central People's Government to serve the construction and development of heavy industry. 1950 north university of china Institute of Technology opened its own enrollment in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Wuhan for the first time. It is the first five-year university in New China with a bachelor's degree. 195 1 in March, 2000, it undertook the task of training senior professionals for the construction of heavy industry in order to build the first new-type regularized heavy industry university in the history of new China. The Ministry of Heavy Industry allocated the first branch of Beijing Machine Tool General Factory to this school as an internship factory. 1On March 8th, 952, the Ministry of Heavy Industry of the Central People's Government issued a document on the future development direction and current principles and tasks of Beijing Institute of Technology, and decided that Beijing Institute of Technology "will gradually develop into a national defense industry institute or a national defense industry university, making it an important source of new advanced technical backbones for China's national defense industry construction". Beijing Institute of Technology (the predecessor of Beijing Institute of Technology) was designated as the National Defense College, and Beijing Institute of Technology became the first national defense college in China, led by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the Ministry of Heavy Industry. This is a landmark event in the history of Beijing Institute of Technology. As a result, Beijing University of Technology became the first national defense industrial college in New China, further clarifying that the mission of the school is to serve the national defense construction. 1953, graduate education begins. From 65438 to 0956, the school trained the first batch of five-year senior military engineering professionals. 1957, the school initially established the specialty of conventional weapons such as artillery, automatic weapons, fuzes, tanks, radars, etc. 14, which played an important role in rapidly cultivating our own national defense construction talents and meeting the needs of national defense production. After 1958, with the development of national defense science and technology, according to the unified national planning, a number of rocket and missile specialties were built, which trained and transported a large number of talents engaged in cutting-edge science and technology for national defense scientific research and industrial departments and made important contributions to China's "two bombs and one satellite". From 1952 to 1957, and then to 1957, the school has established 6 departments, 14 military engineering majors, with 7,806 teachers and students, an increase of 2.34 times compared with 1953. The first ordnance college in New China has started and developed, and stands tall in the capital of the motherland. 1959 became one of the first 16 national key universities. During the "Cultural Revolution", China's frontiers were threatened, and our military research and production tasks were even heavier. The whole hospital undertook more than one scientific research task 1 10, and completed or achieved 57 major achievements. Among them, Red Arrow -73 anti-tank missile weapon system, J-20 1 anti-tank missile, 1974 full-automatic double-tube 37mm anti-aircraft gun, large planetarium, three-meter focal length remote control camera, 74 1.2m ground gun rangefinder, 870 1 high-energy hybrid, etc. From 65438 to 0969, Beijing University of Technology was placed under the leadership of the Fifth Machinery Department (also known as the Ordnance Industry Department). 1978, resume postgraduate education. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the strategic shift of national defense science, technology and industry, the policy of combining military and civilian and combining peacetime and wartime was implemented. Our school actively adapts to the needs of the development of national defense science, technology and industry, and adjusts the professional structure from military industry to "military-oriented, people-oriented, and military-civilian integration". In terms of professional connotation, it has developed from a military product type to an engineering science and technology type combining military and civilian; The goal of undergraduate training has changed from product-oriented design and application-oriented talents to research and development-oriented talents in engineering application fields, so that the military characteristics of the school can be maintained and carried forward in the new historical period. 198 1 was approved by the State Council as one of the first authorized units for doctoral and master's degrees in China. 1983 was appointed by the former Minister of National Defense, General Zhang Aiping, and became one of China 14 universities supported by UNESCO loans. 1984 was approved by the State Council as one of the first batch of 22 pilot graduate schools in China. 199 1 year, China Ordnance Industry Corporation was established by the former Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. The school is led by China Ordnance Industry Group Corporation. 1992, designated by the central government, became one of the first 14 universities established in China. 1992, Beijing Institute of Technology Science Park was established. 1999, China Ordnance Industry Corporation was transformed into Ordnance Industry Group, and the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee was established, and Beijing Institute of Technology was placed under the leadership of the Committee. 1994 10, Beijing Institute of Technology passed the pre-examination of 2 1 1 and became the first batch of 2 1 1 key projects 15 universities in China. 1994, one of the first 26 institutions approved by the Ministry of Education with the right to award MBA degrees. One of the first 30 institutions with the right to award EMBA degrees. 1999, signed an agreement with the General Staff of China People's Liberation Army to train national defense students and began to recruit national defense students. Up to now, * * * has recruited and selected more than a thousand national defense students. At present, there are more than 700 national defense students in 10 colleges, more than 20 majors. In September 2000, it became the first 10 985 engineering college in China to build a world-class and high-level university. By the Beijing Municipal Government, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense * * * key construction. From June 5, 2003 to 10, with the approval of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education, Beijing Institute of Technology Science Park became the National University Science Park. National Institute of Model Software. In 2004, it became 34 colleges and universities designated by the Ministry of Education to independently determine the re-examination admission line. From 2000 to 2004, according to statistics, for five consecutive years, more than 50% of the total scientific research funds of Beijing Institute of Technology came from the projects of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the General Armament Department of China People's Liberation Army and the Military Industry Group. In the "three-step" development strategy formulated by the school, the development goal of building the school into a world-class university with Yan 'an spirit and national defense science and technology characteristics was clearly put forward on the occasion of the 0/00th anniversary of the founding of the school in 2040. According to statistics, from 1956 to 1963, the total number of school graduates is 6564, and 598 1 person works in the army, national defense industrial enterprises and colleges, accounting for 9 1% of all graduates. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period alone, more than 5,000 graduates of various types joined the national defense system. In 2006, 1000 graduates were employed in the national defense system, exceeding the national defense task by 25%. These fully reflect that serving national defense and facing military industry has always been the focus of the school, which embodies the characteristics of national defense and military industry of Beijing Institute of Technology.
